How do I clean grease spots off my new stove?

We bought new appliances after I redid my kitchen . I bought GE brand , with a slate finish . It goes great with the vintage cottage / industrial look I have . It is a charcoal gray color , in a matte , no fingerprint type finish . I don't do much frying , but I cook a lot and often saute things. I found that things splatter every once in a while , and now I have a few dots of grease , that I can't seem to clean off 😣 I have tried ...vinegar & water , microfiber cloth & water ,window cleaner , dawn dishwashing detergent and hot water , magic eraser .I called the manufacturer and they said to try baking soda & water , that didn't work either ! Anybody have any suggestions ????? Thanks !!!

I have the GE slate finish appliances. I love this finish. I just use some Dawn dish soap and hot water and then polish with a microfiber cloth. I really haven't had any trouble with grease spots. I have had my appliances for about 5 years.
Don't forget to wear some type of rubber or silicone gloves or the degreaser will dry your hands out.
Try a kitchen safe degreaser. I like GP66 or Fuller brands. I've never had any issues with them doing anything to the finish. I even use it on our laundry.
Oh ! I have a degreaser , I will try it on a part of the stove that won't be seen , if it affects the finish . Thanks !
Is it stainless steel with a slate finish? There are specific stainless steel cleaners, which might help. I've had good luck with dish detergent, too, which I know you said you tried. Maybe try letting it soak a little and then scrub it?
Thanks , but is different than stainless steel , sort of like the stainless steel that doesn't leave fingerprints...It has a matte finish in a charcoal color.
Run a damp rag over the greasy area, then sprinkle a layer of baking soda over the area. Allow this to sit for about 5 minutes. Scrub with a damp rag or scrubber sponge to remove burnt-on grease.
Thanks , but I tried that already , but I might have used a cotton rag , not a microfiber cloth , will try it again 😊
Don't use a magic eraser it can mar your new stove. I would try Simple Green. Spray it on, and let sit a minute and then use a microfiber cloth.
Yes , I tried the magic eraser on a spot that wouldn't show , if it causes any issues . I will try simple green , thanks .
If Simple green does not work, but it should go to Walmart or an auto store and get some cleaner degreaser. Purple Power is great and can be used for many different cleaning projects around the house.
Thank you !
Fantastic spray cleaner or Mr. clean spray cleaner. Either cut grease.
Ok! Thanks ! I didn't try either of those !!!
I have the same issue! I have a gas stove and even though the surface around the burners is more of a gloss finish, I still can’t get the gummy feeling grease off! My rangehood is the Matt and is awful! It always feels sticky on top.
Best thing I've found is a degreaser called Awesome Degreaser from the Dollar Tree.
Thanks ! I have a degreaser by krud kutter
